I was told by 911design that I need to put a spring inside of my 16AN braided steel line that goes from my dry sump to the stock cooler of my 3.2 or it will cost me an engine. They said that the oil line will collapse Causing oil starvation. When I talked to Patrick Motorsports they hadn't heard that before. Does anybody know of anyone doing this or is this really not necessary? Any info. On this topic would be awesome. Many thanks!!!

Don't know about a spring to keep the hose from collapsing, but you'll kill an engine if you don't make sure the oil feed line is full with no air pockets. On The Beast we would push air into the top of the oil tank forcing all the air out of the lines. And not following the procedure did cost us a motor before we had Matt Lowrance fix the plumbing. Matt did have a special way of routing the oil feed line from the oil tank to the engine. It ran over the top of the passenger side window then back to the motor. Not sure why he did this, but it had something to do with keeping air out of the oil feed line. |

But, that's mainly because they run the oil tank up front and there's a lot of line from the tank to the engine. On a stock 914 setup the tank is completely above the line and the line is short.
